Is the Musk-CZ Feud Back? Their Crash-Day Posts Leave Little Doubt

On Friday, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao and Tesla CEO Elon Musk revived their recent dispute by exchanging memes as a stock selloff spread into a crypto crash. Musk replied to Dogecoin co-creator Billy Markus’s post with a blurry red-tinted image of Zhao. The jab followed an earlier clash after North Korea-linked hackers took about $6.3 billion from Binance on October 29, when Musk posted laughing emojis under a Zhao security warning and Zhao asked for support. The market turmoil included a Thursday slump in AI chip stocks that set off a $2 trillion global stock wipeout, South Korea’s KOSPI falling below 5,000 and triggering a trading halt after an 8% slide, and Bitcoin dropping below $80,000.
